Okay, here's another one...
An acquaintance of mine who shall remain nameless (Hi, Ted!) recently
discovered that, under certain implementations of vi, the command
`:X', mistyped instead of `:x', will *encrypt* your file.
Of course, it first asks you what to use as a key, but since the
discovery of type-ahead buffers, who bother to pay attention to what
you're typing anymore...? :-(
